2nd Trimester

Cramping :( Need some feedback.....

I'm getting a bit worried here.  Last night, I started to have what I'm guessing are  (Braxton Hicks???) contractions.  Today, I'm feeling like I have AF cramps that come and go every 15 minutes or so.  They're not really painful, but I'm feeling something.  I've been drinking water and resting, but I'm not sure what else to do.  At what level is this normal and at what point should I call a doc?  

P.S. I'm 22 weeks.....

  • I've had a few Aunt Flo like cramps lately too but nothing that is 15 minutes apart.  I would call the nurses line or call your OB, better safe than sorry I say.  But I would also take it VERY easy today and drink lots of H2O.  I hope everything is okay for you, take care!

  • This may sound silly - but are you having trouble pooping?   I was convinced I was starting labor several weeks ago because my BH were crazy and I was seriously cramping.  Turns out I just needed a good BM.  As long as you're not leaking fluids or bleeding, you're probably ok.  Try taking a warm bath or laying on a heating pad to see if the cramping doesn't settle down.  If it doesn't stop in a few hours, then I'd call the Dr.  But do whatever makes you feel the best.

  • My doc says any BH OR crampy feelings that are timeable and are coming at regular intervals = a trip to L & D. Call your doctor.

  • I'd appreciate your thoughts and prayers- I've been admitted to the hospital because I'm having minor contractions every few minutes.  Baby looks great, but they're not quite sure what's going on yet...
